CRISPY ARTICHOKE PESTO-STUFFED CHICKEN



Crispy Artichoke Pesto-Stuffed Chicken image

Pesto transforms a simple Italian-inspired dish into something special. And since it's packed with flavor, the pesto only needs a few other ingredients -- artichokes, Parmesan and provolone cheese -- to make a filling fit for these crispy, golden brown chicken cutlets.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 12-ounce jar marinated quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup pesto
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
6 thin chicken cutlets (4 to 6 ounces each, pounded to 1/8 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces sliced provolone, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a baking rack.
  • Combine the artichoke hearts, pesto and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, 10 to 12 pulses. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and arrange them pounded-side up on a work surface. Divide the provolone evenly among the cutlets, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges, then top evenly with the pesto and artichoke filling. Starting at the short end of each cutlet, roll up to enclose the filling. Secure with a wooden skewer and season with more salt and pepper.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish. Put the eggs in a second shallow dish and beat until very loose. Mix the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan in a third shallow dish. Coat the chicken roll-ups first in the flour, then dip in the egg, letting any excess drip off. Last, coat fully with the breadcrumb mixture and transfer to a plate.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Put 3 of the roll-ups in the skillet seam-side down and cook, flipping as needed, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook the remaining roll-ups in the same method, then transfer to the baking sheet. Bake the roll-ups until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the skewers before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic chicken, ripe artichokes, and flavorful pesto.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread for the sandwiches. Ciabatta, focaccia, and sourdough all make great choices.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pesto, you can use a store-bought variety. Just be sure to choose one that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are best cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Assemble the sandwiches just before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
